Just got the game: What's with all the interceptions?

[pat18934]

I just got this game for christmas and I am already about to trade this game in strictly because i can't stand all the interceptions.

I can see passes getting intercepted when they're thrown by the likes of joakim noah or shaq, but i'm getting just as many INTs as i am when i throw with guys like Nash, rose, or lebron. it doesn't matter how good the passer is, they can rarely do a pass without it getting intercepted or tipped.

Forget about fast breaks because somebody who has there back turned to the ball and has no idea you're even throwing a pass is going to either tip it, or catch it and ruin any shot of a nice fastbreak play.

Now i realize i'm new to the game, so is there something i'm missing here? a slider i can maybe adjust to at least tone down the passing to a normal level?

Maybe i need to give it more time, but i think i might just be content with my NBA live 10 updated rosters.

slider, ummmm play passing lanes put it to 5. but put pass accuracy to 43 to both, CPU and PLAYER

It's because you're not making good passes and playing the angles.

You really have to work the ball around and not try forcing the ball into the passing lanes as the a.i will be quick to take the ball away. If you are having alot of trouble you can tweak the sliders to help it out.

There's definitely an adjustment period, Pat. The way we played basketball in real life vs. the way we played ball in a video game has always been vastly different. That remains so this year, but to a lesser extent. One of the areas 2K has attempted to shore up is the prior ability to thread needles with pinpoint passes and swinging the ball across the court and back at will.

In my case, it was just a conscious adjustment I had to make over the first few weeks I had the game. I did not change any sliders in this regard. Rather, I just learned to make higher percentage "video game" passes. In many cases, this meant making one extra pass; going from A to B to C, rather than just the A to C. I'm confident in suggesting that this aspect of the game is one you may warm up to in the first few weeks of ownership.

This right here. You have to play basketball not the basketball video games of the past. You will get the hang of it but it will take time. As 1 poster mentioned if it becomes unbearable just lower passing lanes down some.

This should help you:

If you play this game like past versions, you will not win a game. You have to get all your old 2k habits out your system.
